Made With Love Blog Hop!

Happy Valentines Day!!! I am beyond excited to be here as part of the Made With Love Blog Hop! The best part of Gallery Idol are the friendships we all made with each other! We keep in contact and chat almost everyday! :> We thought it would be fun to have a blog hop celebrating love! You should have arrived here from my friend Miriam's blog! Valentine's Day is a special day for me as it is the day I met my husband! :> We've been so blessed to have so many of the top crafting companies sponsor us with giveaways, they are:

Sweet Stamp Shop is a hand drawn polymer stamp company dedicated to
creating fun and unique stamps that are easy to use, fun to color, and
super 'sweet'! Right now they are releasing new stamps so make sure to check out there blog for more chances to win!

Today I am sharing with you the treats WE made for Ariel and Carter's classes! Valentines Day really is a day that kids love! I thought it would be fun to make Valentine's for the class! For Ariel's class we made:

This was quite the family affair, Chad die cut the Spellbinders labels dies (over 100 of them) I stamped the front, Ariel stamped the back heart wrote the names and colored hers in! I used Lawn Fawn's My Silly Valentine stamp set, such a fun Valentine set! The first three bags of conversation hearts I bought tasted like chlorine! So those went into the garbage but the next few bags said on them that they just might have be made in a place where milk had been used and do to a milk allergy I could not use conversation hearts for Carter's class. I may have been upset, I mean I had stamped 58 of these, and painted in with ink 24 of them! What was I to do, any candy I thought would work in a little bag probably would not be dairy and nut free! I thought well too bad Carter's class your getting just the Valentine! But than my friend said to me what about suckers? Oh yeah!

For Carter's Valentine's since he wasn't interested in coloring (he was interested in eating the treats!) I painted them in with inks (inked up a clear block spritzed with water and painted in with a paint brush) And just used sctoch tape to adhere to suckers onto the Valentine!

For Ariel's class I also made some treats to eat at school:

Rice krispie pops! I made rice krispie treats and cut them out with a heart cookie cutter, than stuck a stick into it (with a bit of chocolate so it would stay) than put some melted chocolate on top and sprinkles! I hope her class loves them! I enjoy making these treats! And for the first time ever I finally made them BEFORE the kids went to bed! I usually wait but this time I thought to myself why do I do that?

I hope that you enjoyed seeing what I made for Valentine's Day! Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win a stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop! You don't have to be a follower of my blog but I would love it if you were! :> The next stop if the lovely and my fellow Canadian friend Elena! Enjoy celebrating this day of love!

Oooh, these pops look yummy! Don't you just adore Lawn Fawn's whimsical designs, I sure do! I like how your children colored in the images and filled out the labels (didn't make Mom do ALL the work!). Happy Valentine's Day!

Those valentines are so adorable! I love that you all worked on them together :) And kudos to you for sticking with it in the face of allergens! You can bet those kids' parents will be extra appreciative that you were so careful :)

You have been busy as always, Anita! How sweet that you met Chad on Valentine's Day... and how smart that you let him crank out all the diecuts! ;) These treat toppers are perfect for kids. Thanks for sharing these, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Isn't it fun to craft with your littles??? I love it and so glad that Payton enjoys it too! This is a perfect little stamp set for kiddos valentines....You are such a good mama!! (even if you say lss) hehehe

Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appeal. I must say you've done a amazing job with this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!

That is such a great idea! Glad you still got to use the Valentines you all worked so hard on. Suckers is a great idea and the rice krispie pops, yummy. I am sure there were no complaints, maybe a lot of kids hoping they are in your kids class again next year! haha Great work!!
